# Hootsuite Common Errors
## Error Reference
### 401 Unauthorized
**Cause:** Access token expired (tokens last ~1 hour).
**Fix:** Refresh token via OAuth:
```bash
curl -X POST https://platform.hootsuite.com/oauth2/token \
-u "$HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_ID:$HOOTSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET" \
-d "grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=$HOOTSUITE_REFRESH_TOKEN"
```
### 403 Forbidden
**Cause:** App lacks required permissions or user doesn't own the resource.
**Fix:** Check app scopes in developer portal. Ensure user has access to the social profile.
### 422 Unprocessable Entity — scheduledSendTime
**Cause:** Scheduled time is in the past or invalid ISO 8601 format.
**Fix:** Always use future dates in ISO 8601: `new Date(Date.now() + 3600000).toISOString()`
### 422 — socialProfileIds
**Cause:** Profile ID invalid or disconnected.
**Fix:** List profiles first: `GET /v1/socialProfiles` and verify IDs.
### 429 Too Many Requests
**Cause:** Rate limit exceeded.
**Fix:** Implement exponential backoff. See `hootsuite-rate-limits`.
### Media Upload — State REJECTED
**Cause:** File too large, wrong format, or exceeds platform limits.
**Fix:** Check per-platform limits: Twitter images 5MB, Facebook 10MB, video varies.
### invalid_grant — Token Exchange
**Cause:** Authorization code expired (30 second lifetime) or already used.
**Fix:** Re-initiate OAuth flow — codes are single-use and expire in 30s.
### redirect_uri_mismatch
**Cause:** Redirect URI doesn't exactly match app registration.
**Fix:** Must match character-for-character, including trailing slash.
## Quick Diagnostics
```bash
# Test token validity
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
https://platform.hootsuite.com/v1/me
# List profiles (verifies full API access)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $HOOTSUITE_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
https://platform.hootsuite.com/v1/socialProfiles | python3 -m json.tool
```
